A radio journey

Main Menu

In the summer of 2013, when the sun shone high and apple trees hung heavy with fruit, two friends took a journey. Katie and Ariel traveled down the coast to California, where they met an inspiring group of herbalists, healers, farmers, and educators. They were introduced to a lifestyle that moves at a slow pace, where human values trump the dollar sign, and where everything good is shared. Builders of the Dawn is the record of that journey, of the many kind people who took them in, and of the words and the wisdom that these two young women gained.

Builders of the Dawn

Builders of the Dawn is a radio series focusing on sustainability, right livelihood, and the emerging cooperative culture. It spotlights a region, the Klamath-Siskiyou range in southern Oregon and northern California, to showcase individuals who are making changes in their lives to make bigger changes in the world. These people, farmers, educators, permaculture teachers, ecologists, musicians, and activists are working to reconnect themselves to each other, to the wider web of life, and to the Earth. They are actively living a new story, building a culture of cooperation. Builders of the Dawn is produced by Ariel Blackbird for KAOS 89.3 FM Olympia.
